Depends on which days of availability bucket scheduling decides to select SC's from. The bucket system applies within a days of availability group not available reserves as a whole. We could fight this but the result would be more guys sitting SC on their last day of availability...no thanks.

I'm pretty much the bottom of the barrel in a large category and have seen no SC abuse. In fact I find the new system very predictable and a vast improvement over the old random assignments that we used to get. Now don't get me started on the new raw bucket system for trip assignments.

It'd be nice if the reserve availability list had another selection that said... Next Pilots For 4-Day Trips: and then listed the names and maybe any limits like max hours the trip can be worth in case there is some 30/7 limit or what have you.

Same with SC, Next Pilots For SC:....

Not the availability list but rather who is up next especially with SC.

Just a thought. And to be honest, even if it was a brilliant thought and they said "LET'S DO IT!" it'd be like a year or so before IT would get to it.

Its only brilliant if the company thinks of it first.

Then people could quit viewing my schedule. It doesn't bother me but I was intrigued that 6 people in my category viewed my schedule last month.

Glad we're on Passbook,
I would be even happier if Delta pilots flew the example flight...



Cheers

Looks like swiping your card through the Kiosk is back, no more confirmation numbers for pass travel! Great idea!
